One thing about Sharks is that mostly everybody thinks they are scary, hideous, bad creatures, but that really is not true if you look at all of the other shark breeds that there are in the world, so let me introduce you to Sharks.

Some sharks do seem scary like maybe the goblin shark, or the Great white shark because they are big and intimidating but the truth is that sharks don’t kill as many people as you might believe they do or as much as everybody says. Hippopotamus’s kill more than Sharks. The reason they attack people which is not common, is because they feel confused or they also can be feeling curious, which is obviously not an excuse for all shark attacks but it explains a lot. All these movies like “Jaws” or “Meg” have portrayed this sea life animal as the worst animal ever. 

Sharks have been around for a very long time and they also help our ocean ecosystem because they are apex predators which means they are on top of the food chain and they help keep the ocean in check. Another reason sharks are important is because they help scientists understand the coastal ecosystem. If the whole shark population were to go extinct then the whole Ocean ecosystem would fall and be destroyed. That would be horrible for Earth.

Shark Attacks

There are a lot of different types of sharks found all over the world, it is believed to be over 500 species of sharks. A couple of those spices don’t attack as much and or often as others, for example the whale shark does not prey on humans nor does the leopard shark as people are not a part of their natural diet.

You see the reason as to why sharks attack humans sometimes, is because obviously a human is going to freak out if they see a shark. When a shark sees that happening they can think it’s other animals not humans and they might try to eat so that leads to an unprovoked attack. 

Habitat

There are a couple of sharks that do not live in the usual Habitat like the river shark but one of those sharks is called the Bull shark. This Bull shark can live a long period of time in freshwater. However, most sharks live in Oceans across the world, usually in salt water. Sharks need to be living in a habitat that has water so that they can be able to survive and breath.

Those are things you need to know about sharks and their way of surviving.
